Girl!!!!!

Haha sorry to keep you all waiting. We did find out several days ago but I have been procrastinating writing a blog about it. Hence this very short post. I'll just say we are VERY excited for a little girl and already buying cute baby dresses.

It's a....

Haha fooled you. We still don't know if it's a boy or a girl but hopefully we'll know tomorrow after the ultrasound, if he/she isn't being too shy.

We went to the baby store last week to check out all the "stuff" we will need. It's a bit overwhelming but very fun. It will be even more fun when we start buying stuff (soon) and when we know what colors to get things in.

In other news, after 18 months I got released from primary! I will miss the kids terribly but I am also looking forward to less stress and more sunday socializing in my new calling (relief society secretary).

All flights leaving and entering Denmark have been canceled for almost a week now because of this volcano situation. I just hope Iceland doesn't get any volcanic activity in June (our babymoon trip to Vienna), September (mom and dad are coming to visit and see the baby) and November (Maren's visit).

Baby's first hiccup

This afternoon I was sitting at my desk at work, when an uneven throbbing began in my abdomen. At first I thought it was my heartbeat (because sometimes my heart beats really strong in my stomach for some reason). But it was too slow for that. Curious, I put my hand to my stomach, but immediately thereafter the throbbing stopped.

After consulting with a friend who is farther along in her pregnancy than me, I concluded that the baby had been hiccuping but was startled by the pressure from my hand. I haven't felt very strong movements from the baby yet so this was a first! I loved it.

Spring Fever

First let me just say that I love Easter, I love General Conference, I love my husband/future baby, and I love Spring!

Spring fever? Who, me?

So now, the real reason for my post: In Denmark, Easter weekend comes along with 3 bank holidays, so on Friday we decided to do an all day date and enjoy the weather. It has been a while since we were able to do that, mostly because until recently I was spending every spare minute laying on the couch with a large bucket nearby. I have been feeling a bit better lately, YAY! So Friday was really fun. We wandered around the city for a while - and Copenhagen was beautiful as usual:

After a little while we encountered Rosenborg Castle which neither of us have ever been inside, and decided to be a bit spontaneous and do the whole tour of the castle right then and there.

It's the castle that was used as a residence by the Danish monarchy from around the 1600's to the 1800's, until they decided they would like a castle with more than one bathroom in it and moved to Amalienborg instead. First we checked out the crown jewels, which literally are...crowns and jewels and various combinations thereof. Then we walked around in the living quarters inside the castle, which was lots of fun. Some pictures outside the castle:

By the way I know I'm huge and yes I'm sure it's not twins.

After that we hit the Hard Rock Cafe - best American food in town!

I am a sucker for funny signs and I love the sign they have on the door of each bathroom stall:

...and after that we hit the movie theater (Alice in Wonderland 3D), and went home tired but happy! All in all, a great day.
